A group of 72 students is divided into 9 equal groups for a field trip. There must be 1 adult chaperone for every 4 students. How many chaperones are needed for each group

2 chaperones

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use the math operation division to find the answer. Division takes a total and divides it into equal amounts. We have a total of 72 students and need equal amounts in to each of the 9 groups.

72/9=8 students per group

Since each 4 students need a chaperone, then each group of 8 students needs 2 chaperones. 8/4=2.
